YPRES, BELGIUM Our coach will leave Riverside coach station in the early morning of Friday 30th May, to go via Eurotunnel to Ypres. Reclining seats, air conditioning, WC, fridge and hot drinks facilities in the coach will guarantee a comfortable ride. We will be staying at the Albion Hotel in Ypres, a beautiful small place in a Flemish Renaissance style, on a bed and copious buffet breakfast basis. It is situated right in the town centre, only 100m from the ramparts of the Marquis de Vauban and from Sir Reginald Blomfield's famous Menin Gate. The hotel has mainly en suite twin rooms with coffee/tea making facilities. We are planning daily excursions e.g to Bruges, WW1 cemeteries, maybe to Antwerp or Veurne. |

KELMSCOTT MANOR AND CIRENCESTER The main focus of the day is a guided tour of Kelmscott Manor, the country home of William Morris, poet, craftsman and socialist, from 1871 until his death in 1896. The house contains a collection of the possessions and works of Morris and his associates, including furniture, textiles, carpets and ceramics. There will be time to spend in the garden and/or to look around the village of Kelmscott. There will be a coffee break en route with time to stroll around Cirencester. We shall arrive at Kelmscott at lunchtime and you may choose either to have a picnic lunch or to have a pub lunch at The Plough (we can phone orders ahead to avoid a long wait). The Manor does not stock sandwiches or other snacks for casual purchase and there is no village shop. |
